Default Pilkington Glass

Can someone give me the name and phone number of someone that sells Pilkington glass ? I've called their 800 number and they won't even give you the name of a vendor that sells their products. It's like they don't want your business or everything is top secret.
I'm in Richmond ,Va and have a 69 Camaro Coupe and the local glass shops that i've called say they don't sell Pilkington products. (I can almost see why if they are this difficult to deal with) But, from what I read it is the best available from a fit and finish standpoint. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Well I am happy to say I got the pilkington glass for my camaro today. I called half a dozen glass companies in CT and all they could get me was front and rear glass from different companies. No one dealt with pilkington. I actually placed my order through Fesler and it came in 1 week and the price was much better than summit. Glad to have this finally behind me. It seems pilkington classic no longer exists as a stand alone company.

It’s the smart way to go. It’s takes a lot of work to get everything aligned and you may go crazy during the process, but it’s worth it. Mine fit near perfect and there is very little wind noise, which I know comes from the wing windows.

Thanks Curtis this is great to hear. After getting the glass I am really happy I went this path. I just started getting all harware in place to mount these. i know it is going to be a pain but not much else to do in my free time these days lol.
